WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I just wanted to repeat my heartfelt thanks at the help you gave me. I’ve come a long way in the past few years and my sessions with you were an absolutely instrumental part of whatever growth I’ve been able to make. Thank you again.

I came to see Karen at a time when I was overwhelmed by several bereavements, care issues etc. Karen helped me to understand how some early life experiences had led me to feel I couldn’t cope. I can wholeheartedly recommend her.
